speaker, we all know in order for this economy to flourish energy has to be available and energy has to be affordable. unfortunately the situation we have seen in recent years is anything but that. the department of energy was created back in the 1970's. in response to the oil embargo. the department of energy was created to deal with the situation of scarcity. unfortunately, the department of energy has not evolved since that time. and where do we find ourselves today? we find ourselves right on the threshold, right on the horizon of america being an energy exporter, again, for the first time in a couple of decades. that's a huge change. has the department of energy changed and kept pace with the reality that is going on in development of energy in state lands, private lands, and, yes, some federal lands, but have they kept pace with the development within the industry? i submit they have not. i submit that they have been an impediment. yeah. i would be happy to work on improving where the department of energy could be in fact a facilitator rather than an obstruction for developing
